The arrival of the late great Daniel Thibault transformed Piper-Heidsieck beyond recognition. The style is now fuller and rounder with elegance and charm. The cepage is an equal blend of all 3 varieties and shows good balance and length. The wine is a fresh aperitif style which is much finer than is often given credit for. Marilyn Monroe famously declared that she went to bed every night with Chanel No5 behind her ears and woke up every morning with a glass of Piper-Heidsieck.

Nose

The very first impressions are of bright, fresh mornings. It is reminiscent of spring blossom such as hawthorn. They lead into more fruity notes such as summer apple and pear, then citrus, with hints of warm toastiness.

Palate

The first impression is lively and fresh. The citrus notes take on a certain maturity. There is passion with gentleness, lightness with spontaneity.

Background

Piper-Heidsieck cuvee Brut is an exceptionally well balanced champagne - fresh and lively, with light aromas of citrus fruits and spring flowers. Piper-Heidsieck cuvee Brut champagne brings its own lively, vivacious and exhuberant character to dry champagne's traditional elegance and finesse. Piper-Heidsieck's cuvee Brut combines 50 rigorously selected growths. Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes give cuvee Brut its structure and elegance. Reserve wines from earlier years are used to create a more rounded blend and ensure the originality of the Piper-Heidsieck style. The wine's harmony develops over the course of slow ageing in Piper-Heidsieck's chalk cellars.
